Our study sought to explore the association between fear of Covid-19 and academic stress via social support and self-esteem. The mediating role of the two variables (self-esteem and academic stress) was only partially confirmed (H4). We found a direct and positive association between fear of covid-19 and academic stress (H1), a negative association between self-esteem and academic stress (H2), a negative association between fear of covid and self-esteem. The association between social support and the other variables (fear of covid and academic stress) was not statistically significant. In other words, if self-esteem was found to be resulted as crucial in regulating the association between fear of covid and academic stress, social support did not.

Abstract
Our study sought to explore the association between fear of Covid-19 and academic stress via social support and self-esteem. The mediating role of the two variables (self-esteem and academic stress) was only partially confirmed (H4). We found a direct and positive association between fear of covid-19 and academic stress (H1), a negative association between self-esteem and academic stress (H2), a negative association between fear of covid and self-esteem. The association between social support and the other variables (fear of covid and academic stress) was not statistically significant. In other words, if self-esteem was found to be resulted as crucial in regulating the association between fear of covid and academic stress, social support did not.
